He just wanted to bull rush. Didn't want to lose weight. Then he yells at the coach.

Gotta believe things would have been a lot different for Akiem in New Orleans if Coach Nielsen was the DL coach during those times. IMO AHicks was a very good draft pick by us but required the proper coaching & personnel to shine. |

Let us not forget the final Rob Ryan season, that did nothing for anyone's career.
